Braun is well known worldwide brand and their Series 7 line electric razors made Braun even more famous. In recent years the Braun series 7 shavers have been the most popular in terms of popularity and user base. And the Braun 7880cc is a popular model of series 7. The Braun Series 7 7880cc shaver comes with an attractive look, a new cleaning station.

Before you spend your hard earned money, you must know how well this shaver actually shaves and whether there are any alternative good shavers or any other product you can buy better at the same price.

We will try to elaborate on the Braun series 7 7880cc shaver in this review and point out the good and bad aspects of it.

Reduces Rubbing for Maximum Comfort

The Braun Series 7 7880cc is designed with simplicity. And the shaver has been built in sonic technology which delivers 10,000 micro vibrations in a second to reduce rubbing on your face for a gentle shave.

Battery Life

The Braun 7880cc shaver is powered by lithium-ion battery and this rechargeable battery provides almost 50 minutes worth shaving time. In my experience, the battery life is lovely and it performed outstanding.

The battery takes an hour to be fully charged.

There are 2 ways to charge – 1. through the cleaning station

by plugging

The Braun Series 7 7880cc shaver has 5-minutes extraordinary quick charge option and provides the battery enough juice for the morning shave.

LED Display

There is an LED display in the Braun 7880cc shaver which will always show you about the battery status.

There are 4 charging indicators – 1. Full battery

50% charge

Low battery and

Battery charging.

The red low battery indicator will start blinking when you can only shave 2 to 3 times with it.

When the shaver is being charged the corresponding green charging light will blink throughout the entire process and after completely charged, all the green lights will shine continuously as well as after some time it will turn off.

The replacement head indicator is situated in the center of the display and that will light up every 18 months.

Anyway, there is no memory effect. LI-Ion battery is the most powerful and long-lasting battery and it has a low self-discharge rate than Ni-MH batteries.

Negativities:

Precisely, when you will lock the shaver’s head in a fixed position and then if you try to move it by applying more force, the locking mechanism would merely snap and you can’t lock the shaving head in any way.

So, that means you can’t force the shaving head when it is in locked position.

And there is another potential problem, despite the use of exceptional paint that should resist the constant exposure to the alcohol-based cleaning fluid, the paint right below can spark and chip in time.

I can’ tell if this problem has been fixed with this Braun 7880cc but you may have to use it for at least a few months or a few years to resolve the issue.

The damage is only visual, it won’t affect the shaver’s performance and thank the very solid and sturdy construction.

Cons

Expensive

Hair trimmer is not much better

Manually cleaning is difficult.

Conclusion

Hold the shaver with your skin at a 90 degree angle. Keep the pressure even for a comfortable shave.Considering all the features and specifications, we can not blame it anyway and the consumer’s reaction also gives the same feedback. It could be your smart companion for instant close and comfortable shaving. I can not tell it is the best since there are more advanced electric shavers by Braun and Panasonic like Series 9 and Arc 5. But in its level, it is pretty satisfactory and price worthy. According to the customer’s emotion and popularity, The Braun 7880cc can beat the more advanced shavers. Now it’s your choice to make a decision if it is good for you or need more advanced shaver.
